I'm very pleased to announce the release of a new version of GNU PSPP.
PSPP is a program for statistical analysis of sampled data. It is a
free replacement for the proprietary program SPSS.
Here are the compressed sources and a GPG detached signature[*]:
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/pspp/pspp-0.8.3.tar.gzftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/pspp/pspp-0.8.3.tar.gz.sig
Use a mirror for higher download bandwidth:
http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html
[*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the
.sig suffix) is intact. First, be sure to download both the .sig file
and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this:
gpg --verify pspp-0.8.3.tar.gz.sig
If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
then run this command to import it:
gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys C6648E90
and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.
This release was bootstrapped with the following tools:
Autoconf 2.69
Automake 1.11.6
Gnulib v0.0-7913-g5191133
Changes from 0.8.2 to 0.8.3:
* Independent T-Tests displayed the standard error of the difference
and the confidence interval for the unequal variances case, where
the equal variances case should have been. This has been fixed.
* REGRESSION now recognises /STATISTICS=CI(x) which causes confidence
intervals for the coefficients to be printed.
* When DESCRIPTIVES calculates Z scores, it now omits cases filtered
by the current FILTER settings.
* PSPPIRE graphical user interface improvements:
- Dialog boxes with source variable lists can now choose the sort
order; right click and select from the popup menu.
- File|Open now allows an encoding to be selected for opening
system files.
- File|Display Data File Information|External File... now allows an
encoding to be selected.
- A problem with the Means dialog has been resolved (bug #41433).
- Several problems related to the input of spreadsheets have been
fixed (bug #41657, #41620
* System file related improvements:
- With ENCODING="DETECT", SYSFILE INFO can now help the user to
pick an encoding for reading a system file that does not identify
its own encoding
- SYSFILE INFO now accepts an ENCODING subcommand to specify the
character encoding of string data in the system file.
- Variable labels over 255 bytes long are now accepted without
truncation (bug #41863).
- System files that contain duplicate variable names may now be
read successfully (bug #41475).
